Last week, the largest toy store in town shut its doors in preparation for a grand reopening in a newer building down the street. Three floors filled to the brim with toys galore, the new store boasts a multi-story wooden slide and a carousel on the top floor. Münster is now home to Germany's largest toy store, and we brought the girls on opening day to partake in all the festivities.
Parents were presented with champagne upon walking through the door, and kids were given buckets of candy, balloon animals, and the opportunity to have their face painted. So, we stood in line for 1/2 an hour, watching girl after girl become transformed into princesses and butterflies. And then it was Eloise's turn. "What would you like?" asked the exhausted, champagne deprived face painter. "A crocodile!" replied my little one, "and a rainbow." And that's what she got, after a little cock eyed action from the lady.
